Chapter 46: Fang Che's Frustration (Cultivation)
Chapter 46: Fang Che's Frustration (Cultivation)
Sun Yuan still felt a bit stifled, and he hummed, rolling his eyes as he said, "Once you hold a position in the sect, you'll naturally be given a messaging jade. At that time, the essence of the Quintessence Puppet will permeate the jade, allowing you to control the puppet and send messages at any time."
"The people who send messages vary depending on their responsibilities. The number of messengers also depends on one's status."
"In short, you can contact anyone within your reach based on your position. All you need to do is communicate with the Quintessence Puppet through your thoughts, and it will find that person for you. Unless that person is dead, the puppet will inform you of the failed transmission; otherwise, no matter how far they are, your message will be instantly received, and the puppet on the other end will notify its master of the incoming message."
Sun Yuan explained, "In essence, this is the function of the Quintessence Puppet. This is also why the puppet is considered highly dangerous. Most people's bodies cannot withstand it, so during each disciple selection, many who cannot endure it end up dying tragically."
"I see."
"Of course, there are some special individuals favored by the higher-ups who, despite holding low positions, have direct communication privileges with the sect leader."
A proud smile appeared on Sun Yuan's face as he said, "Che'er, the sect leader has high hopes for you!"
This statement carried a profound meaning.
Fang Che's eyes lit up, and he said, "I will definitely complete the task flawlessly and strive to gain the qualification to report directly to the sect leader."
"Good. You should work hard on this, and I'll also do my best to help you."
Sun Yuan smiled, feeling a bit puzzled. Fang Che didn't seem to react to the fact that the Quintessence Puppet could kill people.
Could this child be so pure that he doesn't suspect that his brother Su Yue might be setting him up?
Fang Che wanted to react, but he held back to not interrupt Sun Yuan's explanation, so he remained silent.
Anyway, Su Yue is dead. Whether I react or not... he was my good brother!
I'll still use his name in the future.
...
Sun Yuan left.
Fang Che began to study the Quintessence Puppet.
It all made sense now; it was because of this thing!
No wonder! Fang Che only knew that the Quintessence Puppet ensured loyalty. If a person had any disloyal thoughts, the puppet would instantly retaliate, causing them to die an unnatural death.
It could be said that the puppet's sensitivity was extraordinary.
Unfortunately, the Quintessence Puppet inside Fang Che didn't have this function. Fang Che had disloyal thoughts every day, and they were considered heretical by the puppet, yet it couldn't kill him.
Not only that, but Fang Che had also completely suppressed the puppet, and he constantly trained it to the point of exhaustion.
However, Fang Che didn't know that the Quintessence Puppet also had a messaging function.
"This little thing must have an extraordinary origin. I really don't know how it was created."
He activated the Boundless Sutra and entered the Mystic Gateway.
The Quintessence Puppet was most afraid of this kind of spiritual power and immediately curled up into a ball.
With a thought, Fang Che released gentle spiritual power and fed some of it to the puppet through his meridians.
The Quintessence Puppet was stunned and began to chew voraciously.
Tears welled up in its eyes!
It finally got to eat something.
Ever since it entered this guy's body, it had never had a full meal and was constantly in a state of hunger.
Now, it finally felt some relief.
Thank goodness!
This time, Fang Che fed the Quintessence Puppet until it was full.
Instantly, a faint feeling of joy arose.
Apparently, the puppet was very satisfied.
Fang Che soothed it with gentle emotions once more, and the puppet was astonished, having never received such high treatment before.
It quickly reciprocated with the same kindness.
Fang Che was pleased and continued the interaction.
Ye Meng entered with a pot of tea and, seeing Fang Che's smile, asked, "Why are you so happy today, young master?"
Fang Che's heart stirred.
He immediately sealed the Quintessence Puppet.
Slap.
The puppet was sent back to the cold palace.
Quintessence Puppet: ...
Fang Che waved his hand and, with an air of mystery, said, "This is a secret. Come closer and listen."
Ye Meng suppressed her excitement and feigned hesitation, saying, "Let me knead your legs, young master."
"Good."
Fang Che stretched out his long legs comfortably.
Enjoying Ye Meng's service, he spoke in a low voice, "This is something I can't reveal outside."
"Yes, yes."
Ye Meng's lips curved into a smile, and she repeatedly agreed, her hands busy massaging and soothing his muscles.
"Inside my body, there's a Quintessence Puppet. This thing is amazing. Once I get promoted within the sect, I can use it to contact others and send messages. No matter how far they are, they'll receive it instantly. Isn't this even more convenient than the legendary thousand-mile voice transmission? It's like a divine artifact!"
Fang Che boasted with a smile.
Ye Meng's eyes widened, and she said, "Young master, don't fool me. How can a tiny insect do such a thing?"
"Tsk, what do you know? Do you know why the sect has remained strong for so many years? Haha... Even if we locate an enemy, by the time we get there, it's too late... they're already gone. This is why!"
"With just a thought, the message is sent. Whenever there's a disturbance, you can escape a thousand miles away. Who can catch you?"
Fang Che proudly declared, "This is my life-saving weapon! Whenever something happens, hehe, the message will be received immediately!"
He saw Ye Meng's face, filled with a cute daze, her mouth wide open.
This is a huge secret!
Fang Che immediately put on a disinterested expression and waved his hand dismissively, "You won't understand even if I tell you about this. It's better to tell you something fun yet frustrating."
"Something fun yet frustrating?" Ye Meng was even more perplexed. His mind had barely recovered from the shock of the previous news, and now there was something else?
"Alas, I've really gotten into trouble this time."
Fang Che sighed, "My master came over and scolded me earlier. Alas... I feel rather frustrated about this."
Ye Meng tried to console him, "Young Master, it's normal for a master to scold their disciple. There's no need to feel frustrated about it."
He wanted to immediately return and pass on the news.
Fang Che sighed, "What do you know? This time, it's different."
Ye Meng's curiosity was piqued, "How is it different?"
Fang Che put on a resentful expression, "I killed the wrong person... and got into trouble."
"What? You killed someone?" Ye Meng's expression turned fearful.
His expression was so realistic.
Fang Che suddenly felt like two top actors were acting out a scene.
He became more emotional and said, "My master said... just yesterday, several sect leaders were chatting together. Our sect leader didn't dare say a word, and when he returned, he scolded my master?"
A chat among sect leaders?
Ye Meng's heart immediately rang with alarm bells, and he perked up his ears, putting on a shocked expression, "Ah?!"
"The leader of the Heavenly Deity Sect said that they had finally developed a family and cultivated a seed, but that seed was killed by a newcomer during the New Student Tournament at White Cloud Martial Academy..."
Fang Che sighed, "So now you understand? The only person who died during the tournament was the one I killed, that Xi Men Xuri..."
Ye Meng was stunned, "What a coincidence!"
"Who said it wasn't? Our sect leader didn't dare say anything, he only said a few words of consolation, and then when he returned, he scolded my master like a dog... and then my master came and scolded me like a dog as well."
Fang Che said helplessly.
Ye Meng: "..."
"It's so unlucky! How was I supposed to know that guy and his family were from the Heavenly Deity Sect? I thought I had eliminated the Guardian's seed, but in the end, I killed one of our own. Where's the justice in that? I'm also a victim here! No one told me beforehand that Xi Men Xuri was one of us!"
Fang Che sighed helplessly, "Not only that, my identity is top-secret and cannot be exposed. So, in the future, there's a possibility that I might be assassinated by our own people. Isn't that frustrating?"
Ye Meng also thought about it and couldn't help but say, "It is a bit frustrating, but can't this matter be explained?"
"Explaining it would expose my identity, and that would be even more dangerous."
Fang Che sighed again, feeling extremely resentful.
Ye Meng lowered his head, his eyes darting around, feeling a bit of schadenfreude.
Suddenly.
Fang Che shouted angrily, "I told you, and you remain silent? You useless thing!"
Ye Meng was startled and was about to raise his head to speak, but he heard Fang Che ask viciously, "How far have you progressed in your cultivation?"
Ye Meng's spirit lifted, "I've reached the second level of Samurai!"
He had a hint of showing off.
"You're so stupid! Only at the second level, and you're so proud?"
Fang Che grabbed a handful of pills and threw them at him, "Hurry up and cultivate! If you can't break through to the Master level within a month, I'll sell you to the brothel!"
Ye Meng immediately pouted.
This guy... is his face made of dog skin that it can be pulled down so easily?
It's even more convenient than a door curtain.
He was just smiling a moment ago, and now...
"May you never find a wife!"
Ye Meng cursed viciously.
He returned to his room sullenly and sat for a while before starting to use secret methods to compose the message.
"Today, I found out about the secret of the Only Me Religion's Quintessence Puppet and the messaging method, and it turns out that... there's another piece of news. That Xi Men family actually..."
...
Fang Che watched Ye Meng leave, and he also felt relieved.
These consecutive pieces of news were enough to solidify Ye Meng's position and make the upper echelons of the Guardians realize Ye Meng's importance by his side.
He couldn't be so straightforward in the future; these few times had already been quite risky. If someone with ill intentions were to consider things from this angle, they might suspect him.
It was fine to tell her straightforwardly to lay the foundation, but in the future, he would have to think of other methods.
...
At the stroke of midnight.
Fan Tian Tiao, who was secretly staying in the neighboring room, received the news.
"The secret of the Only Me Religion is actually like this..."
Fan Tian Tiao didn't dare to be negligent and immediately sent out the information.
This news was extremely important.
The Guardians only knew the general function of the Quintessence Puppet and that it should have a messaging function, but they didn't know the specific details.
After all, the Quintessence Puppet was inside the body, and any thought of betrayal would immediately backfire.
Even if they caught someone, they couldn't extract any specific information.
It had taken the Only Me Religion many years to become so rampant.
This time, Fang Che explained everything in great detail.
The information Ye Meng sent was also very detailed, and although the Xi Men family was small, it couldn't be underestimated.
This was the first time Fan Tian Tiao had obtained such detailed information, and he felt like he had obtained a treasure.
After sending out the information, he nodded in satisfaction.
Fang Che was indeed a treasure trove of information, and arranging for Ye Meng to be by his side was the correct decision.
He started writing a letter to the Shadow Chamber: "No matter what, do not use him for other purposes! It's very important! Extremely important! Suggest raising the importance level to star!"
